ELSA voting patterns study

Exploratory analysis - draft version 8

Author

Pierre Walthéry

Published

06 August 2025

Changes from version 7

  1. Added 4 series of models without past voting behaviour as covariate.

Changes from version 6

  1. Improved univariates for continuous variables (30)

  2. Added age 2 and 3 categories to tables in Section 4.1 & 4.2; 2019 GE turnout to tables in Section 4.2 & 4.3.

  3. Added a new recoded version of SR mental health, abilities and general health

  4. Renamed Tertiary ed as Further/Degree level.

  5. Fixed display of unrecoded univariate frequencies

  6. Amended multivariate analysis:

    • Removed household types
    • Removed age*sex interaction
    • Replaced past GE turnout with dichotomic version
    • New sets of stepwise tables including the new list of independent variables

Notes

DIGRAN (presence of granchildren) was not added to the regression models due to the small number of observations.

Changes from version 5

  1. Added digran,erlvolba,erlvolpe,exlo80,exlo90,psagf,sclfcoa,scorgch
  2. Added a section for descriptives of continuous variables
  3. Consolidated variables list in Section 1

Changes from version 4

  1. Recoded general and mental health as: Excellent/Very Good; Good/Fair; Poor. Warning: given the small number of obs for ‘poor’, this is likely to generate unreliable estimates

  2. Added four way tables of whether voted by age, sex, by all other variables.

  3. Revise model reference categories (see attached) Note: No list was attached, let me know if this needs rearranging, this is a very quick amendment to make

  4. In model tables listed previous vote at bottom of table; re order log likelihood and GoF stats.

  5. Checked and corrected 2005 GE turnout table

  6. Reorganised regressions tables so that all series of models include interaction of age by sex as the last model.

To do:

  1. Add continuous IVs to the 4way tables in Section 5.1

Introduction

This document presents preliminary descriptive, uni-, bi- and multivariate analysis of voting at the 2019 General Elections among the 50+, using data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing - ELSA at Wave 10.

  • Section 1 presents the variables included in the analysis
  • Section 2 contains information about variable recoding and related issues
  • Section 3 includes unweighted and weighted frequency tables of unrecoded, recoded and derived socio-economic (SEV) and independent (IV) variables.
  • Section 4 documents unweighted and weighted 2-way contingency tables of SEVs and IVs by turnout at the 2019 general elections, age, sex.
  • Section 5 presents additional four way tables of voter turnout at the 2019 GE by SEVs and IVs broken down by age and sex, as well as three way plots of voter turnout at the 2001, 2005, 2015, 2017, 2019 general elections by age, sex.
  • Section 6 presents the results of four series of stepwise logistic regression models of voting at the 2019 GE.

2. Variables recoding

Recoding schemes:

  1. Household type (HHDTYPB):
  • Single person (adult) households
  • Families (large + small)
  • 2 adults households
  • Large adults HH
  1. Marital status (DIMARR)
  • Single/never married
  • Married
  • Separated/dicvorced/widowed
  1. Employment status (WPDES)
  • Retired + looking after family/home
  • In employment
  • Long term sick + unemployed
  1. Highest qualification (EDQUAL)

  • Detailed version

    • Degree or equivalent
    • Higher ed below degree
    • A level or equivalent
    • GCSE or equivalent
    • Foreign
    • No qualification

  • Short version

    • Higher education
    • Secondary education
    • Foreign
    • No qualification

Recoding notes and issues

  • There is potentially a large drop in the number of observations resulting from combining the voting records across waves: 4,247. For this reason, missing values were coded as 0. As a result there may be a need to add a control for British vs non British citizenship.

  • Ethnicity has 2,584 missing values. I do not recommend using it.

  • Same with social class: 4,489 respondents had no job information collected .

  • DIGRAN: the number of grandchildren was asked at Wave 4 then pushed forward (ELSA User Guide Wave 5 p14). As a result, there is large number of missing values at Wave 10.

3. Univariates results

Results are presented as follows, under each tab below:

  1. Unweighted frequencies and proportions of the original variables, unrecoded
  2. Weighted frequencies and proportions of the recoded (ie missing/invalid values removed) variables

Please note that in the case of newly derived variable 1. and 2. will be identical
